The Vulnerable

Uncategorized 30 May 2008 | 0 Comments

Not much goes wrong in my little Santa Monica bubble, but a couple things happened today that made me realize we aren’t all safe.  During my bender Sunday, my colleague little Kimi “Pie” mentioned that she had found something on her leg.  She explained that she saw her dermatologist who looked at it and said [...]

"That Guy"

A friend of mine who I hadn’t seen in years walked into O’ Brien’s on Sunday afternoon while I was working.  It was somewhat ironic since I used to walk into the bar on Sundays and he’d be working.  It was great to see him after all these years.  We caught up a bit and [...]

The Bender

It’s funny.  Now that I bartend, I don’t drink nearly as much as I used to.  But, on occasion, I rise up and carpe the fucking diem to knock back a few beverages.  Grateful to be done with my shift.  I had heard a rumor that my friend Money Mike was celebrating his birthday at [...]

Sunday at 4 ayem I was having a post-work beverage when my phone rang.  I rarely answer the phone at that hour but it was my colleague Tim, so I figured what could go wrong.  Unfortunately, at the end of the shift Tim hurt his vagina, actually his back, and asked if I could perhaps [...]

Occasionally my father will send me a news article which touches upon something we’ve spoken about or interested him, so I wasn’t so sure why he sent me an article from the Boston Herald concerning Hillary’s comment about RFK.  I don’t recall having discussed the issue with him but it’s something I want to talk [...]

Re Up

One of the great things about living in California, aside from the weather, women, and scenery, is the fact that one can get a prescription for medical marijuana.  As someone who knows many people who consume marijuana, I’m surprised more people don’t have prescriptions.  ”I don’t want to end up on some list” is the [...]

I Was Wrong

I gave basketball the short shrift yesterday because of all the scoring.  Well yesterday’s Laker game proved me wrong.  Watching them come back from 20 down was a thrill.  I hope they keep up the good work.  I’m going to see Indiana Jones in a few hours.  Hope it doesn’t suck.

Fast Kicking, Low Scoring, and TIES!!!

Like everything else, The Simpsons describes soccer to a T.  The UEFA Champions League final was today.  I’m sure I’m not ruining it for my tivoing readership when I tell you that Manchester United defeated Chelsea on penalty kicks.  What that means is that they played two 45 minutes halves, then two 15 minutes overtime [...]
